    Hey,

    If you have less than 1 year of experience after your graduation you can do a J1 visa up to 12 months.

    If you have more than one year of experience after your graduation, or if you are already a professionel, you can do a J1 visa up to 18 months.

    YOu need a sponsor for a J1 visa like for example the CIEE.
    You will have to pay an amount depend of the duration, but for sure you have to find an internship. If you have money you can also see with a company able to find a job for you. Some are serious and propose a correct wage like 2000 USD.


    You also have the H1B which is teh work visa, up to 3 years, however you have to find a company which wants you and is agree to pay teh legal fees around 2000 USD. But even if you find a company who is agree to pay, the application can be refused, every years you have a limit for the H1B number, and moreover it is limited to specific area like IT ...

    You also have the Student visa which is easy to get cause you give money to the USA withotu taking any so they like it :)

    Good luck
